    Nice building with some issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Best rooftop view I've ever seen, clean building
    Cons:
    Issues with package theft, poor insulation of the units
    Advice to owner:
    Secure the building

    Poor heat insulation and $500+ electricity bills in the winter
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Large windows, nice design, convenient virtual doorman
    Cons:
    *If you are reading this and are thinking about moving in, call ConEdison and ask about what the electricity bills have been in the winter for the unit you’re considering. I can guarantee you you’ll be surprised. Refusal to take responsibility for abnormally high electricity bill, over a month since we initially gave notice of the heating issues and expensive electricity bill as a result of those issues and we still haven’t had any help for over a month - in the middle of winter) Shoddy construction around the unit (crooked light switches on the wall, gaps around windows, gaps in the molding where cold air comes through, cold air coming through electric outlets, large gaps between the wall and floors where cold air comes through
    Advice to owner:
    Be transparent about the apartment. Adhere to your own lease agreement if you’re made aware of an issue that is significantly impacting living conditions. Heating issues should not take over a month to deal with in the middle of winter.

    Nice Building, Some Sketchy Neighbors
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Building is kept very clean. However, most of the maintenance staff doesn’t wear masks correctly (or at all) which isn’t cool. - Management is very responsive. Anytime I’ve had to email I’ve heard back just a few minutes later.
    Cons:
    - I’m not sure what it is about this building, but there are definitely some shady characters. I never noticed until I started to work from home during the pandemic, but I often notice people lurking outside the building during the day and at night who I’m not sure whether they live in the building or not. - The common spaces (hallways) are freezing. How expensive is it to properly heat a hallway in a luxury building? - The roof has totally fallen into disrepair, which is so sad given the amazing view. Furniture is falling apart, plants are dead, string lights are broken, grills are often not working, etc. It’s sad. - Not only is the building incredibly expensive for the area, but management is cheap and impossible to negotiate with. I’m not surprised to see so many unoccupied units. - Electric bills are very, very high. The building seems inefficiently insulated.
    Advice to owner:
    Take better care of your building’s roof, which is its standout feature. Figure out what’s going on with the sketchy characters. Heat the hallways in the dead of winter. Be fair with your pricing.
